Silicone-based ink is the only ink that will stick to silicone. For this reason, the Gerun pad printing silicone ink is made of silicone. Once cured, this ink becomes part of the silicone. It will bend, stretch, and flex with silicone product. Additionally, it can withstand any high temperatures that silicone can.

Ink mixing, printing & curing

To print your product, mix the silicone ink (A) with the LG catalyst (B), print, and cure the product. For every 10 parts of the ink (A), add 1 part of the catalyst (B). Mix the ink and the catalyst. To dry and cure the printed product, use heat. Put the printed product in an oven for 5–10 minutes at 200–250°F (6 minutes at 250°F). (Safety caution! (Wait for the heated product to cool down before touching.)

After a full cure, try to bend, scratch, or stretch the printed product. We guarantee that the print (ink) will not crack or rub off—the print becomes part of the product. This is the reason the Gerun series silicone ink is perfect for printing on silicone rubber products.

Attention:

Drying: Printed parts dry at 200–250 °F for 2–8 minutes.

Caution: Silicone rubber inks are compatible with many types of silicone rubber. However, contact with some substrates will inhibit the drying of silicone ink. We recommend that you always do a small-scale compatibility test before full production.

The Gerun silicone inks are the most advanced silicone inks, giving decorators versatility and efficiency.
